The Dove 1974
In 1974 The Dove set sail into the imagination of American Youth. It is based upon the true story of Robin Lee Graham who sailed around the world starting from California at the age of 16. Loneliness, despair, romance, kittens, love and a little adventure were his constant companion on his voyage around the world.
